FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
By analyzing Forel’s financial statements we are able to evaluate the company’s past performance as well as its current financial position.
In this part, we will proceed with the horizontal and vertical analysis of Forel’s income statement and balance sheet over a two year period (i.e. 2008-2009) as well as the trend analysis over a five year (i.e.2005-2009) accounting period.
The horizontal analysis is a line-by-line comparison of all accounts year over year, providing us with valuable information about the accounts that experienced a material change, whereas vertical analysis of the accounts helps us identify the most important accounts for the company. Forel’s vertical analysis over the income statement is made in respect to the net sales; whereas the vertical analysis over the balance sheet is made for the assets in respect to total assets and for equity and liabilities in respect to total liabilities.
For the purposes of our assignment, we will focus on the revenues, total operation profits, current assets, long lived assets and the dividends accounts.
